\"Carlos

\nRating:<\/strong> A-\n\nAfter his first defeat to Ian Machado Garry, Prates reminded everyone why he is one of the most fluid and devastating strikers in the UFC.

Average Weight: Baisangur Susurkaev vs. Eric Nolan<\/h3>\n\n\nResult:<\/strong> Susurkaev defeats Nolan by submission in the second round
\nRating:<\/strong> B\n\nSusurkaev was close to paying dearly for his jokes, as Nolan hurt him at the end of the first round. However, Susurkaev reacted in the second, punishing Nolan with kicks and then taking the fight to the ground to submit him with a rear naked choke. What’s most impressive is that Susurkaev achieved this victory after winning a fight four days earlier on “Dana White’s Contender Series”.\n\n\n

Although Asakura had the advantage in speed and power, Elliott was crafty and seized his opportunities. A takedown in the first round set the tone and prevented Asakura from feeling comfortable with his striking. Elliott, 38, secured a takedown in the second round and locked in a guillotine.\n\n\n
